witch would be the best opition ? buy another gtx 680 4gb or

>GPU rendering

okay bud

depends on the cuda cores.
search whatever card has most cuda cores

cycles and vray support cuda

That's not a very good idea. Some older cards have more cuda cores than current models, yet they are obviously significantly slower.

I switched from a 780 (2304 cores) to a 1070 (1920 cores), and it cut my render times in FStorm in half.

what cards are good for rendering? I got a gtx 960 2gb it does alright.

what's the ideal?

680 is equivalent to a 1050ti, so putting them in SLI is not going to get you near the same performance as a 1070 or 1080.

I dun goofed. Have 980, bought used 780 because COOOOOORES. It does seem to render almost fast as the 980 at least.

those are gaming cards. sell them and buy a pair of quadro M4000's, a pair of quadro M4000's costs less than a M5000 and is faster. M6000 is like 5 grand anyways. you can later on add a maxwell Tesla compute card if you need yet faster spedz.

>Not having one computer for gaming and one or two for rendering.

That's my goal one day.

save up a thousand bucks and you'll be good.

Quadros aren't really any faster for GPU rendering than the generation equivalent GeForce or Titan cards. For example current Pascal cards:
>Titan X 12GB - $1,200
>Quadro P6000 24GB - $5,000

The extra vram is nice if you're rendering huge scenes, but that price/performance makes no sense. And a Quadro M4000 is not even half as fast as a 980 Ti in octanebench. Nor do you get any better interactive viewport performance from Quadros.


>>544721
Upgrade to a 1070. You'll want the extra vram for GPU rendering and the 1070 is the price/performance sweet spot for 8GB cards.

A render time of zero seconds.

It would be a waste to get a 1080 for 1080p. Consider how much gaming you actually do and what kinds of games. Can't say much for its rendering performance vs other cards though.

The only reason to get a quadro is to have reflective materials in solidworks viewport.

>>544721
According to blenchmark.com/gpu-benchmarks , two 680's are objectively 33% faster than a single 1070 or 1080, and a 1080 is almost equivelant to a 1070.
